During Spring 2020, educators quickly adapted to providing interventions and collecting data virtually despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents were critical partners in supporting opportunities for students with intensive needs to practice and receive feedback and sharing what was working and when changes are needed. While the context and environment may have changed, the focus on providing high-quality interventions with validated practices, monitoring student progress, and adapting and intensifying supports based on student data continues to be applicable across virtual, in-person, or hybrid models. Many of these materials were developed to support educators and families during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they can be used to support virtual delivery of intensive intervention for students in virtual learning programs, as a result of adverse weather events, or to extend practice opportunities and learning at home.

This guide was developed by Melanie Kowalick an MTSS Curriculum Specialist in Wichita Falls Independent School District. This planning guide may be used for planning short intervention activities, review and practice activities, or progress monitoring checks. During school closures, we learned that virtual intervention does not look the same as face-to-face intervention. Parent support and planning are going to be the key to helping our students who have difficulties with reading and mathematics. For educators or parents, part of this support includes simple ways to monitor student progress.
This video demonstrates how to use the set model to multiply equivalent fractions. Before students can multiple fractions they should understand the concepts of repeated addition and grouping as it is used with multiplication of whole numbers. Teachers should carefully model multiplication using the set model as students have to understand that when re-grouping the parts of the fractions, they need to keep the denominator the same. The set model is also a useful strategy for introducing how to multiply fractions that are not equivalent; so, students may benefit from multiple opportunities to practice with equivalent fractions first.
This video demonstrates how to use the set model to subtract fractions with unlike denominators. Students need to have the prerequisite conceptual knowledge of finding like denominators before they can apply subtraction strategies to fractions with unlike denominators.
This video demonstrates how to model subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators using fraction tiles. Like subtraction with whole numbers, many students struggle with subtraction of fractions; so students should have several opportunities to practice subtraction using concrete materials such as fraction tiles.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to subtract fractions. If students are subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, they can also practice finding the difference between the fractions or comparing the fractions for solution.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction circles to subtract fractions. If students are subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, they can practice finding the difference between the fractions by comparing or taking away the fractions for solution.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to model fraction addition and subtraction concepts.
This video demonstrates how to use the set model to add fractions with unlike denominators. The set model allows students to easily find like denominators and manipulate pieces of the fraction in order to perform computation; however, using the set model in this instance does require many steps and students need to remember that whole is represented by a set of chips (in this case, 12 chips). Beginners and students who struggle may benefit from a visual checklist to use while performing addition of fractions with unlike denominators using the set model.
This video demonstrates how to use the set model to add fractions with unlike denominators. Students need to have the prerequisite conceptual knowledge of finding like denominators before they can apply addition strategies to fractions with unlike denominators. The set model is beneficial for students who do not have automaticity with mentally determining multiples because they can count and move pieces to determine a like denominator.
